Fractals are shapes too irregular to be described by euclidean geometry, that follow certain rules such as self-similarity (ie, a smaller part of the shape will look like the whole). A lot of shapes in nature are fractal in nature (coastlines, patterns in broccoli, shape of a tree, etc.).
My brother, George, likes to play with them. He creates wonderful works of art out of mathematical equations that describe fractal shapes. I was having trouble with blogger this morning, so could not upload the work that I wanted to. Here at work, I found the fractal that George sent Pam for her birthday. So I am posting my brother's work in lieu of mine.

Congratulations to both of you!
